Ever seen one of these?

We were camping on the Kootenai and Yaak rivers and discovered this impressive rig. A converted teardrop.Click image for larger version

You'll see lots of interesting things--and people--up the Yaak! Most of the folks are nice if not a bit eccentric. DW and I met and married in Libby 20 years ago and we went back for a visit in early August. It was great visiting old haunts.

If you like to hike, the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness is a well kept secret. Lots of fish in those mountain lakes!

Take a drive up the Yaak and over to Lake Koocanusa (named for The Kootenai, Canada, and USA, BTW) then back to Libby for a nice day trip.

Lots of camping options, especially if you like to dry camp.

I'd consider moving back if I still worked for the Forest Service. I'm happy to give anyone info about the area. Just PM me!

210's were 2 and 4 door but didn't have as much chrome as the Bel Air. I could be wrong but I thought the one that you are referring to as a 110 was actually the 150. It has been a while since I fooled around with Chevy's of that vintage. The 150 didn't have the "fan" shape on the rear chrome trim on the rear fender and the Bel Air had a metal insert there.

I just googled it and the models were Bel Air, 210 and 150 with the Bel Air being top of the line and 150 being at the bottom.

My first car was a four-door '57 Biscayne - a sort of lilac or lavender color - very much like this one:
